Macrophyte systems, including kelp, seaweed and seagrasses, have revealed high diversity
and abundance of associated fauna along the Norwegian coast. In the present study, data …

Sugar kelp forests (Saccharina latissima) normally dominate the sublittoral rocky sea bed in
medium exposed to sheltered areas of the Norwegian coast. In 2002, a large-scale …

As coastal population growth increases globally, effective waste management practices are
required to protect biodiversity. Water authorities are under increasing pressure to reduce …

Shifts in competitive balance between key functional groups may drive regime shifts in
tropical and temperate marine ecosystems. On shallow reefs, regime shifts increasingly …

Herbivory fundamentally shapes ecosystem functioning by influencing the abundance and
distribution of plants. Whereas a great deal of attention has been given to factors that …

Most conceptual marine eutrophication models predict that ephemeral and epiphytic
macroalgae will become substantially more abundant with increasing nutrient richness. This …

The littoral zone of temperate rocky shores is normally dominated by perennial macroalgae
(eg Fucus, Ascophyllum, Laminaria), but nutrient enrichment and/or permanently decreased …

During coastal eutrophication, fast-growing, ephemeral macroalgae bloom at the expense of
slow-growing, perennial macroalgae. This change in community composition has been …

Hongze Lake, which ranks as the fourth-largest freshwater lake in China, has considerable
importance as a water transfer reservoir under the South-to-North Water Transfer Project …

Canopy‐forming plants and algae commonly contribute to spatial variation in habitat
complexity for associated organisms and thereby create a biotic patchiness of communities …
